linux ppc seems to be going under. they have not released in over a year
and there does not seem to be any new developement. personaly i have had
troubles installing ydl on my power mac 6500. on a new world machine i
believe that it would run much better. from what i have herd from
the people tha ti know that use mandrake it is a good distribution
if you have a new world machine and are a new user or an experienced user.
